I Got To Get To California - Marvin Gaye

I got to get to California right away

I got to get to California right away

Just to see the evening sun setting in the west

Breaks my heart, reminds me of the true love that I left

In the sunset I can see my baby’s face just haunting me

Reminding me of the tenderness that heaven knows was in her kiss

I had a love that was mine mine mine mine alone

But I played the fool and Lord I left my happy home

What a fool a man can be, but this loneliness inside of me says

I got to get to California right away

I got to get to California

I wish I was there by my baby’s side

Lord I wish I had listened to my heart and not my pride

She tried to tell me that I had no reason to tell her she was…

I was blinded by my pride and I just couldn’t see

Now I’ve got to hurry, I’ve got a reason to worry

I’ve got to be on the move, true love I’m gonna lose

I pray it’s not too late, oh I might have to catch a freight

I got to get to California right away

I got to get to California right away

Ohhhhh may have to hitchhike baby

Might have to hop a freight

Yea yeah now I’ve got to hurry

Now I’ve got a reason to worry

I’ve got to be on the move

Or true love I’m gonna lose

What a fool a man can be

But this loneliness inside of me says

I got to get to California right away

I got to get to California

Might have to hitchhike, baby

Might have to hitch a ride

Oh now now I got to get to California
